Saga of Sins, the demon hunting action platformer that resembles a moving stained glass window, was last mentioned in August. Now, publisher Just For Games has revealed that this sin-slaying cleric will be bringing his religious rebellion to Switch on March 30, 2023.
For those of you who missed the initial announcement, Saga of Sins has you take on the role of a mind-hopping cleric on a quest to rid the village’s inhabitants of their thoughts of the seven deadly sins. Sounds a little odd, no? Bonus Level Entertainment, the creators, makes sure that things only get stranger from here! The cleric can transform into four different forms to fight these monsters: a werewolf, a gargoyle, a griffin, and one more mystery transformation. The entire action is presented in a visually distinctively churchy manner.
Just For Games also unveiled a fresh trailer showcasing the seven deadly sins in action along with the release date. Although the visual aesthetic is still quite new, the iconography and gameplay of the trailer are unavoidably reminiscent of Demon’s Crest. View the complete video up top to see what we mean!
Check out the details from the game’s Steam page for a little more information and a close-up look at some screenshots:
